Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 940 Decision
From a prudent point of view, it is best to wait until the spring.

But in this case, based on the rat people's efficiency in producing troops, the advantage they gained through a tough battle would probably be greatly reduced.

This is a multiple-choice question with pros and cons. No matter which choice you make, there will be advantages and disadvantages.

And it is precisely because of this that people are troubled and confused.

The Lizardmen are an important force in his hands, and more importantly, they are very loyal, which makes their status in Zhou Xu's heart even higher.

Zhou Xu really couldn't make the decision to let them launch an offensive in winter and risk being wiped out.

In the end, we decided to be cautious and wait until the temperature starts to rise in late winter and early spring before officially launching the military operation.

They had just fought a tough battle, and the condition of the troops stationed in the southern border was not very good. It was a good opportunity for them to make a thorough adjustment during these few months of winter.

In addition, it can also better ensure the stability of the southern border.

After all, the report also mentioned that a part of the ratmen escaped into the southern border of their Great Zhou, and it is currently impossible to confirm whether they have been completely wiped out.

On Zhou Xu's side, after the matter was completely finalized, Soros, who received the order, also had an idea in mind, and at the same time began to arrange troops to further expand the search range.

There is only one goal, and that is to eliminate all the ratmen who have escaped into the southern border of their Great Zhou before mobilizing troops!

In the next period of time, the Southern Fortress will probably be busy.

During this period, Zhou Xu was at ease in Xianyang City.

There is no war in any part of the territory right now, so we just need to focus on internal development.

From a ruler's perspective, he would wish days like this could last forever.

It was a new day, and Zhou Xu got up early as usual.

After simply finishing his morning exercise and eating breakfast, he did not go to the Qinzheng Hall as usual, but turned around and left the palace, took a carriage, and headed towards the west gate of Xianyang City.

The westernmost part of the New South District is Feiyan City. The area between Xianyang City and Feiyan City is a large plain grassland.

The only horse farm in the New South District is here.

Although it is basically impossible to produce war horses, they are very useful in transportation and farming.

Generally speaking, it can be regarded as an important industry.

However, this time Zhou Xu came here not to visit the horse farm, but to visit the new facilities that were recently built here.

Unlike the horse farm near Feiyan City, this facility is close to Xianyang City.

After walking about ten kilometers out of the west gate, they arrived at their destination.

The staff here had undoubtedly received the news in advance, and when Zhou Xu got off the carriage, they all came forward to salute.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Everyone is free of charge."

As he spoke, Zhou Xu's gaze passed over the crowd and fell on the building in the distance.

At first glance, it looks like an ordinary shed, with a large number of shelves of varying heights standing outside.

But what's in this shed is not ordinary.

Walking inside, the four giant eagles with fully-fledged wings immediately caught Zhou Xu's eyes. Needless to say, the facilities here are used to tame these four giant eagles!
After growing for a period of time, these four giant eagles now stand on the scaffolding with their feet, and the height is about 40 to 50 centimeters. Each one looks quite handsome.

Unlike Xuan Yu, that rebellious son, who had grown so long that his body was only the size of a crow, and even looked like a crow. Every day he either wanted to "assassinate" him or played tricks on him.

When he thought of this, Zhou Xu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, feeling very melancholy.

It’s all because he had such a good experience when he raised a thousand-year-old cat before, and now the gap is really big.

Just as he was thinking this, a black shadow flew in from outside, flapping its wings, and landed on Zhou Xu's head.

It was just like returning to its own bird's nest. The movement of folding its wings and squatting was so smooth that Zhou Xu was immediately furious.

There was a moment of dead silence at the scene, and then the staff at the breeding farm acted as if they didn't see anything.

The person in charge of the breeding farm here is the breeder who was responsible for feeding the four young eagles in the palace. Naturally, he knows that Xuanyu is not an ordinary bird, but an extraordinary creature!

When Xuan Yu came in, the four giant eagles that had been very noisy suddenly became quiet.

Or rather, they became nervous. One by one, they stood there motionless, as if they were punished, and occasionally glanced in the direction where Xuan Yu was.

One of the giant eagles happened to have its sight collide with Xuan Yu's. At that moment, the entire body of the giant eagle trembled visibly.

All I can say is that he is indeed a natural extraordinary creature.

Even exotic beasts like the giant eagle would be obviously suppressed.

However, Zhou Xu didn't care whether it was a supernatural creature or not, and directly reached out to grab it above his head.

His movements were not fast. Looking at the hand that was grabbing him, Xuan Yu could definitely dodge it, but he probably knew that his old father would not do anything to him, so he simply did not bother to move and just watched the hand grab him.

When Zhou Xu caught it in front of him, Xuan Yu blinked his big black eyes at Zhou Xu with an innocent look.

Zhou Xu was speechless. He poked its head with his finger as a warning, then threw it aside.

As soon as it took off, Xuan Yu spread its wings, landed steadily on a shelf beside it, and then began to comb its feathers.

Looking at the other person like this, Zhou Xu felt a little tired.

This rebellious son doesn't understand! The intelligence of extraordinary creatures is not low, and Xuan Yu's intelligence is comparable to that of humans.

In this case, it is impossible for it not to understand what it means.

But this rebellious son was born with a rebellious nature and wanted to do just that. His main feature was that he was fearless and Zhou Xu had no way to deal with him.

Who can blame them for being extraordinary creatures? And they can fly.

To some extent, it is almost invincible.

After glaring at the rebellious son with a warning look, Zhou Xu's gaze returned to the four giant eagles in front of him.

Although it is still a long way to go before the animal can be ridden, some initial obedience training can already be done. At the same time, the training programs at each stage are also different.

It would be inappropriate to continue to keep the giant eagles inside the palace when they need to start training.

So Zhou Xu specially designated an area outside the city as a training ground for them, and used the contents recorded in the ancient scrolls of the wood elves to build this facility specifically for training giant eagles.
